For
the 2011 Container Design Challenge, we asked our readers to add a little
something extra to their container designs. Just like the perfect purse or a
snazzy tie can make a ho-hum outfit sing, an extra object add some pizzazz to a
planting. We left the concept wide open, inviting our readers to interpret it
as they wished, and you certainly were inspired.

We're sharing with you here the winning photo, along with photos of all the finalists' entries. Click on the images to enlarge them.
